The special shipment of three truck heads to the Emirates

Recently the Smart Logistics Group was asked to ship 3 truck heads within a flat rack collapsible 40ft container from Portugal to United Arab Emirates. It required a high precision loading due to the size of the shipment, where two of the truck heads were mounted opposite to each other and the third on top of these two. It was necessary to carefully disassemble some parts of these trucks such as the rear wheels to meet the inland haulage and the maritime transport requirements for another successful shipment.

Heavy load successfully shipped from Spain to Bangladesh

On may 2016, we worked on a project cargo for Arbour Shipping which consisted in a shipment of flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel from the Port of Valencia in Spain to the Port of Chittagong, the most important seaport in Bangladesh. There were 40 iron (non-alloy) coils placed in 13×20’DV containers with a gross weight of almost 270 tons.

The shipping started in Sagunto, a town close to Valencia in Spain, where it was transported by road to Trincajes de Carga Warehousing where the shipment was placed and settled in the 13 containers and then transported to the Port of Valencia to its final destination in Chittagong. The shipping was done successfully under the EXW terms for the spanish shipper ArcelorMittal.
